No one could have prepared for the inferno that would ignite when they collided, least of all them.

Lucy

Seven years ago, I fled from a life where being a woman meant you were bound in shackles, and only dangerous and sadistic men held the keys.

I made a new life for myself and found the family I always needed in a group of outlaw bikers.

There's only one problem-Jude Ashcroft. The man needles under my skin like no one else. When he goes low, I go to hell.

Until one night when my past catches up with me, and he saves me from the hell I barely escaped the first time.

But the trouble that found me that night was only the tip of the iceberg.

He doesn't understand what or who he's dealing with. He thinks he can protect me, but if I let him, true evil will come knocking, and it won't come alone.

Jude

My life is simple, uncomplicated. The only things I care about are my brothers, my bike, and having no strings attaching me to any one woman. Everything is status quo, just how I like it.

Until Lucy. I've never met a woman more obstinate than the little demon. If cutting me down and showing me up were a sport, she'd have a gold medal in the pocket of those tight jeans.

She's nothing I've ever wanted. Too mouthy, too opinionated, too... Lucy. Now I need to convince the part of me that craves a challenge, craves her fire.

She's hiding something, though. I don't know what, and I don't know why. The only thing I do know is it's going to bring trouble like we've never seen to my club.

But I'll show her exactly what happens when someone tries to take what's mine, because whether she likes it or not, that's precisely what she is.
